An initial glimpse of the forthcoming Donald J. Trump Presidential Library in Miami was presented by Eric Trump, offspring of President Donald Trump in a video broadcast on X, March 30, 2026.@EricTrump/X
President Donald Trump shared an early look at the designs for his presidential library in an AI-generated video that he disseminated on social platforms Monday night.
The video displayed blueprints for the projected Trump Presidential Library and Museum, anticipated to be situated in Miami, Florida. The footage portrays the library and museum as a lofty structure along the city’s coast, a location declared by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis last September.
Per the video, the high-rise tower will showcase the “TRUMP” emblem, akin to the ones utilized on the president’s various properties.
The video rendering seemingly illustrates a West Wing-esque colonnade inside the building, an auditorium, a grand ballroom that closely resembles the sketches for the ballroom Trump is constructing to supplant the East Wing of the White House.

It also featured what appears to be a reproduction of the Oval Office, complete with the revamped decor the president has incorporated into the iconic space. The video also presents an extensive amphitheater area showcasing a sizable, golden statue of Trump.

The president’s son, Eric Trump, expressed in a social media bulletin that he had "devoted his utmost effort into this endeavor" for the duration of the preceding 6 months.
Trump awarded his son’s designs for the edifice "five stars" during a phone conversation with ABC News’ Jon Karl on Wednesday and lauded the construction as "splendid." Trump also conveyed to Karl that the presidential library would function as a hotel, as well.

However, the president additionally communicated to Karl his desire for the project’s commencement to be deferred until after the conclusion of his term in office.
Conspicuously, the video seemingly exhibited that the impending library and museum will accommodate the $400M "unconditional donation" of a deluxe jet from the Qataris to the Trump administration.
In discussions with reporters on Tuesday, Trump verified his intentions for the property to "most probably" be a hotel — and reiterated that work would not initiate until his departure from office.
"It’s highly plausible that it will be a hotel with a magnificent edifice beneath and a 747 Air Force One in the foyer, which will be a challenge," Trump remarked.

Sources informed ABC News the prior year, that as dictated by the memorandum of understanding endorsed by Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth and Qatar’s Minister of State for Defense Affairs, the aircraft, labeled a "flying palace," would transition to the presidential library foundation following Trump’s exit from office.
The plane’s arrangement inside the building, coupled with other aircraft, mirrors the sheltering of an Air Force One employed by President Ronald Reagan, currently at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
Nevertheless, the rendition of the bestowed Air Force One also showcases the jet with the pale blue livery of the existing Air Force One, which the retrofitted Qatari jet will never exhibit. In mid-February, the Air Force affirmed a fresh color palette for forthcoming Air Force Ones, encompassing the Qatari jet, presenting a dark blue, red and gold stripe.
Ascertaining the precise sum amassed for the library and museum remains unattainable. The original 501(c)(3) established for the library shut down the preceding year and neglected to issue an annual report. The new one has yet to release any annual reports either.
